New Florida State head coach Willie Taggart and his two coordinators will hold a press conference with the media Sunday and the Seminoles will begin their preseason camp bright and early Monday morning.

It's been a whirlwind of an offseason in Tallahassee after a season that began with potential national championship expectations and ended with FSU barely sneaking into a bowl game and an extremely unexpected coaching departure.

Let's catch you up on everything you need to know in advance of the 2018 season.

Coaching Staff

2017 record

7-6 (3-5 in ACC)

An injury to starting quarterback Deondre Francois in FSU's season opener against Alabama thrust true freshman James Blackman into the spotlight.

FSU opened the season losing three of its first four and five of its first seven games, needing to nearly win out down the stretch to extend the longest active bowl streak in college football to 36 years.

Wins over Syracuse, Delaware State, Florida and Louisiana-Monroe got the Seminoles to the six-win mark and a win over Southern Miss in the Independence Bowl helped FSU finish with a winning record for the 41st straight season.

Whether tied together or an unrelated coincidence, FSU head coach Jimbo Fisher bolted for a 10-year, $75 million contract at Texas A&M in early December, leaving FSU to open its first head football coaching search since it hired Bobby Bowden in 1976.

Within days, FSU hired Taggart from Oregon. He may not have coached a game in Tallahassee yet, but his first offseason and the strides he has made in bringing much-needed culture change and connecting FSU to its storied past have drawn rave reviews from the fanbase.

Team’s greatest strength

It's not an exaggeration to say that FSU may have four or five running backs on its roster that would be the go-to option at most schools across the country.

Akers proved to be among the nation's most dynamic backs as a true freshman and should only grow from there while Patrick, Khalan Laborn, Amir Rasul and Zaquandre White will all be fighting for reps behind him.

Luckily for them, there should be plenty of snaps to go around in Taggart's run-heavy offensive scheme and the running backs' ability to consistently rotate should keep them all fresh and dangerous.

On the other side of the ball, it doesn't seem likely FSU has enough reps at defensive tackle to go around.

Regardless of who wins out, FSU's impressive DT depth should be able to make up for issues in other defensive aspects at times.

Team’s biggest weakness

If injury luck is on their side, it's possible the Seminoles will trot out a capable offensive line.

FSU has the players with the right mix of experience, upside and chemistry at the top of the depth chart.

A few injury blows, though, could have the Seminoles in dire straits.

FSU has talent at the top, but players with minimal experience who don't appear ready for a starting role are some of the first linemen waiting in the wings.

It's possible this doesn't become a problem, but offensive line injuries have been a problem of late for FSU and could prove catastrophic in 2018.

Defensively, FSU has plentiful options at linebacker, but needs at least three of them to step up after losing three starters off last year's team.

Jackson is emerging as the leader of the unit, but he can't do it by himself and will need help from a few yet-unknown LBs who are about to be called on during preseason camp.

If they don't step up, the middle of the FSU defense could be a weak point in 2018.
